2-Ingredient Cloud Protein Cake

Light as air, melt-in-your-mouth soft, and unbelievably simple.
This cloud cake uses just two ingredients, packs ~38g protein, and comes out to about 2 WW points for the whole cake. No flour, no sugar, no oil — yet it tastes like a dreamy cheesecake-soufflé hybrid.

Description

This cloud cake is ultra-fluffy, delicately sweet, and slightly creamy in the center with a lightly golden top. It’s perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a high-protein snack when you want something indulgent without blowing your goals. The texture is similar to Japanese soufflé cheesecake — airy, jiggly, and soft.

 Ingredients (Only 2!)

  • 1 cup (240g) non-fat Greek yogurt

  • 3 large eggs, separated

✅ Use thick Greek yogurt for best structure (0% works great).

 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Line a 6–7 inch round pan with parchment paper.

  2. Separate the eggs

    • Place whites in a clean, dry bowl

    • Place yolks in another bowl

  3. Mix yolks + yogurt
    Whisk until completely smooth and creamy. No lumps.

  4. Whip egg whites
    Beat until stiff peaks form. (This is what makes the cake “cloud-like.”)

  5. Fold gently
    Add the egg whites to the yogurt mixture in 3 additions, folding slowly to keep the air.

  6. Pour into pan
    Smooth the top lightly.

  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until set and golden.

  8. Cool slightly
    Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. It will deflate a little — totally normal!

 Tips for Success

  • 🥚 Room-temperature eggs whip better

  • 🥄 Fold, don’t stir — be gentle

  • 🔥 Don’t overbake or it will dry out

  • 🧁 For extra height, bake in a smaller pan

 Servings

  • 4 slices (generous portions)

Q & A

  • Cocoa powder (1 tbsp)

Q: Why did my cake deflate?
Totally normal for soufflé-style cakes. It stays soft and creamy inside.

Yes! Store covered for up to 3 days. Texture becomes more cheesecake-like.

Q: Can I use regular yogurt?
Greek yogurt works best. Regular yogurt may be too watery.
